Solution

Anita starts by facing west.

  1. She walks 10 m and then turns 90 degrees clockwise. This means she is now facing north.

  2. She walks another 10 m and then turns 45 degrees clockwise. This means she is now facing north-east.

  3. She walks 25 m, turns to face the opposite direction (which would be south-west), walks 5 m and then turns 135 degrees clockwise.

A 135 degrees clockwise turn from south-west would make her face south-east.

So, the answer is E. South-east.
